Burak Nehbit, founder & CEO of Aether (
https://getaether.net) a peer-to-peer network of self-governing, interest-based communities who elect their own moderators. It's inspired by Usenet and Reddit, but unlike them, it also attempts to provide not only a platform, but also high-quality discussion on an ongoing basis.'
